Question

Like if I were to say american eagle, or aeropostale do i have to translate american eagle?

Answer 1

No you don't translate them. It was one of the things that I learned while studying English, you don't translate brand names, store names, poems names, etc. It's a long list. I guess the same happens with English to Spanish translations.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Answer 2

You have to say the name of the store in the language the name is not the translation, because proper names does not have translation specially legal names, for example you can not translate Yellowstone Park and say Parque Piedraamarilla, You can not do that./

Answer 3

You cant translate, you have to say the real name, the name of the store have to be respected and for that reason is international. People wont understand you if you translate it, it happens in every language.

Answer 4

the names of places for example like stores should not translate and the names of places like new york sometimes it could be translate but not always it depens if exists something in spanish it sounds very similar.. and the personal names are not always translate it depends if exists something similar in spanish for example you cannot translate names like alaistair or jane.. but personal names are just translated for important persons.. like Queen Elizabeth like Reina Isabel ect.. the names of common persons are not translate if your name is Margaret.. there is a similar name like Margarita

Answer 5

i think with name brands and stores you don't need to translate.
i don't think it would make sense to them and also Spanish speakers are hip to american name brands anyhow so they'd probably know what you're talking about if you just said it in English

Answer 6

naa i dont think so...look at esprit for example.its french and everyone still doesnt translate it no matter what language
